The conversion commands `C-c -' and `C-c *' are now better
behaved and therefore more useful, I hope.
If there is an active region, these commands will act on the
region, otherwise on the current line.
- C-c - :: This command turns headings or normal lines into
items, or items into normal lines. When there is a
region, everything depends on the first line of the
region:
- if it is a item, turn all items in the region into
normal lines.
- if it is a headline, turn all headlines in the region
into items.
- if it is a normal line, turn all lines into items.
- special case: if there is no active region and the
current line is an item, cycle the bullet type of the
current list.
- C-c * :: This command turns items and normal lines into
headings, or headings into normal lines. When there is
a region, everything depends on the first line of the
region:
- if it is a item, turn all items in the region into
headlines.
- if it is a headline, turn all headlines in the region
into normal lines.
- if it is a normal line, turn all lines into headlines.
This allows you to use org-remember in any gnus buffer - even when
not on a location that will create a usable link. Instead of
failing with the error "Not on a group" just create a remember
note with no link instead.
This makes org-remember more user-friendly - we don't have to
change buffers to a non-gnus buffer to create a remember note.

I'm have a *minor* issue to report. It occurs when I export
an org file with footnotes to LaTeX. Specifically, it has to
do with the combination of American style quotation marks
and footnotes.
According to many American manuals of style, quotation marks
are to be placed after a sentence ending period if the
quoted passage is at the end of the sentence. E.g.
,----
| Here is "a quote."
|
| not
|
| Here is "a quote".
`----
When I use American style quotation in conjuction with a
footnote, the exporter does not convert the closing quote
marks into a two single quotation marks (i.e., LaTeX smart
quotes).
Thus, the following source snippet:
,----
| This is a footnote "with a quote."[fn:sample] And here
| is another footnote "with a quote".[fn:another]
|
| [fn:sample] Here is the sample footnote.
|
| [fn:another] Another footnote.
`----
Becomes
,----
| This is a footnote ``with a quote."\footnote{Here is
| the sample footnote. } And here is another footnote ``with
| a quote''.\footnote{Another footnote. }
`----
Notice the double quotation mark (rather than two single
apostrophes) at the end of the first sentence. Notice also
the correct quotation mark format appears in the second
sentence, where the period comes after the quotation mark.
This commit addresses this issue by checking of text
protection is off not after the quotation mark, but before.
The manual now used better the org.css file. It also reacts to single
key presses like "n" and "p", and has a top-level table of contents
that is always active and visible.
The directory used for attachments to an entry is by default chosen
automatically, with a name derived from the entry ID to make sure it
is unique.
However, in some cases it may be better to assign a user-chosen
directory to and entry, to be used for attachments. This commits
implements this change. See the documentation changes for information
on how things work.
Thanks to Jason Jackson for pushing this part.
The second change made bu this commit is that it is now possible to
inherit the attachment directory from a parent, so that an entire
project subtree can use a single directory.
Two new variables, `org-export-html-inline-image-extensions' and
`org-export-latex-inline-image-extensions' now define the file
extensions that will be considered for inlining images. The default
for HTML is png, jpg, jpeg, and gif files. The default for LaTeX is
png, jpg, jpeg, and pdf, assuming processing with `pdflatex'.
For LaTeX export, this can lead to conflicts for links that point
to non-image PDF files. To avoid that such a link will be inlined by
accident, always give a description text for such a link, one that is
not equal to the path.
The special first column in some tables was not removed for LaTeX
export. This bug was probably introduces recently, while trying to
fix problems with special characters in LaTeX tables.
Export is now working again properly.

The following table works correctly with org-plot
#+PLOT: title:"org-plot test" ind:1 type:2d with:hist set:"style fill
solid" set:"yrange [0:]"
| Year | a | b |
|-------+---+---|
| x2006 | 3 | 1 |
| 2007 | 1 | 2 |
| 2008 | 2 | 0 |
However, if the "x" is removed from the start of all the years, it no
longer works:
#+PLOT: title:"org-plot bug" ind:1 type:2d with:hist set:"style fill
solid" set:"yrange [0:]"
| Year | a | b |
|------+---+---|
| 2006 | 3 | 1 |
| 2007 | 1 | 2 |
| 2008 | 2 | 0 |
From glancing through org-plot.el, it seems as though the problem is
that the text-ind parameter is false when all the values in the
"independent variable" column are legal numbers. However, my lisp
skills are not up to fixing this.
This patch is by Charles Sebold and Eric Schulte fixes the problem.
When a property for column view is supposed to contain a date, not
defining allowed values could lead to an obscure error message. This
is now improved.

Hi. After you eval this (for instance to count the number of
headlines under a tree):
(org-map-entries 'ignore t 'tree)
you end up with a different view of the buffer
because (org-narrow-to-subtree) was called. This seems an
unwanted side effect since narrowing is not org-map-entries' job.
Should (save-excursion) be used inside (org-map-entries
... 'tree) ?
He is right, and save-restriction is needed as well. This is
what this commit implements.
Sometimes archiving a task displays the next task heading after ... at the
end of a folded task. This keeps the next task the cursor is on starting
in column 1 which feels more natural.
Rename functions missed in commit 1371205.
Changing timestamps for the currently clocked task generated the
following error:
org-clock-update-time-maybe: Symbol's function definition is void: org-update-mode-line

I find that doing a tags search for SCHEDULED or DEADLINE turns
up headings that do not have any schedule or deadlines.
Using the example from
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/10274:
#+SEQ_TODO: NEXT WAITING | DONE
#+STARTUP: overview
* DONE Test1
CLOSED: [2009-01-07 Wed 12:26]
* NEXT Test2
DEADLINE: <2009-01-28 Wed>
* Test3
If I type
C-c \ +DEADLINE<="<2009-01-28>" <RET>
all three headlines are selected! I expected to match the second
headline only.
Indeed, this exposes an error in the time comparison functions
which would take a empty time stamp to mean 0. This commit does
fix the bug.

I had one more question/request concerning archives. Would
it perhaps be possible to enable the file name
substitution (i.e., "%s") after the double semi-colon, so
that the file name can be used as a headline within the
archive file? My ideal setup would be to have a single
archive file for each year's work, with headlines named
according to the original files of the archived subtrees.
E.g.,
,----
| * finances.org
| ** archived item
| * notes.org
| ** archived item
| ** another archived item
`----
This commit does implement this request.

When I have multiple org files archive to a single file, as in

I find that including archive files in the agenda display (C-u v)
results in multiple identical entries in the agenda display (in my
case, when doing a word search).
In fact, the number of duplicate lines exactly matches the number of
agenda files that archive to that file (in my case 16). Is the agenda
function perhaps searching the archive file once for each of the
agenda files and then displaying the results as separate lines?
Indeed, when putting together the list o archive files to search,
Org did not check for duplicates. This commit implements
uniquification of the list.
